Child Abuse Claims

The fact that child abuse claims continue to fill the courts in Ireland is a sad reflection on our society.  Research has shown that people who were abused as children are more likely to become child abusers themselves once they reach adulthood, and through treatment, therapy and care we can break this circle once and for all.

Every responsible citizen who has been the victim of sexual, physical or emotional abuse as a child owes it to themselves to seek compensation.

Making Child Abuse Claims for Compensation

Irrespective of whether you are a child or now an adult, you may still be entitled to make a child abuse claim for compensation, no matter how long ago the offences against you happened. There is a long list of potential defendants in a child abuse claim for compensation, and these can include:-

• Individual abusers
• Foster parents
• Operators of a children´s home
• Religious organisations
• Charitable organisations
• Social Services Departments

Not only are the individual perpetrators responsible for the child abuse you may have suffered, but also the institutions that failed to protect you as a child and placed you in situations of danger. Because of the many different scenarios involved in making child abuse claims for compensation, it is always in your best interests to speak with a specialised child abuse claims solicitor when considering a child abuse claim for compensation.

To make it easier to discuss potential child abuse claims for compensation, we have opened a free advice telephone service. By calling 1800 989 995, you will be able to speak with an experienced child abuse claims solicitor, discuss your personal situation and establish whether you do indeed have a child abuse claim for compensation. Our service is non-judgemental, completely confidential and you are under no obligation to proceed with a child abuse claim once you have spoken with us.
